Sound-velocity measurements for HFC-134a and HFC-152a with a spherical resonator

A spherical acoustic resonator was developed for measuring sound velocities in the gaseous phase and ideal-gas specific heats for new refrigerants. The radius of the spherical resonator, being about 5 cm, was determined by measuring sound velocities in gaseous argon at temperatures from 273 to 348 K and pressures up to 240 kPa. The measurements of 23 sound velocities in gaseous HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) at temperatures of 273 and 298 K and pressures from 10 to 250 kPa agree well with the measurements of Goodwin and Moldover. In addition, 92 sound velocities in gaseous HFC-152a (1,1-difluoroethane) with an accuracy of ±0.01% were measured at temperatures from 273 to 348 K and pressures up to 250 kPa. The ideal-gas specific heats as well as the second acoustic virial coefficients have been obtained for both these important alternative refrigerants. The second virial coefficients for HFC-152a derived from the present sound velocity measurements agree extremely well with the reported second virial coefficient values obtained with a Burnett apparatus.Paper dedicated to Professor Joseph Kestin.

边界对齐的平滑三维对称标架场

为了把广泛应用于网格四边形化和纹理合成的二维表面标架场拓展到三维,提出一种生成三维对称标架场的方法.不同于表面对称标架场(四对称方向场),二维标架场的对称性能用一个切平面的旋转角度来表示,而三维对称标架场的对称性却不能这样简单地表示.为了解决这个问题,利用球面函数来获得一个对称性表述,该表述对于绕任意一个轴的π/2旋转以及它们的复合是不变的.基于球面函数的表示可以获得一个有效的标架场光顺程度的度量,并以球面调和分析进行加速计算;基于一组边界约束,可以通过极小化这个度量函数来获得一个光顺的标架场,该标架场在表面上能很好地对齐法线.最后通过表面投影、流线追踪和奇异点来可视化这个标架场,并将这个光顺的标架场用于六面体网格生成,且讨论了它在生成高质量纯六面体网格方面的潜力,其与表面标架场在生成四边形网格方面的潜力是一致的.

激光异物清理系统的光束发射系统设计

高压电网长距离传输线路经常飘落缠绕风筝塑料等异物需要及时清理,而人工异物清除方法存在较大安全隐患。激光具有发散角小、方向性高、高亮度的特点,是远距离非接触式电网异物清除的有效手段。为此在实验室搭建激光毁伤测试系统,测量典型电网异物清除阈值,依据测量结果设计了一种适用于户外使用的固定焦距光束发射系统,系统由3片分离式球面镜片组成,成像质量达到衍射极限,结构简单紧凑,长度仅有272 mm,重量小于48 g。根据设计结果,通过优化设计光源到透镜的距离,可实现系统在20~200 m工作距离调整。最终,采用物理光学传播功能模拟系统实际的使用情况,系统在发射基模高斯光束时,在各工作距离下光斑直径均小于9 mm,达到异物清除阈值,可实现对各类电网异物的有效清除。     

Micron-Scale Soft Actuators Fabricated from Multi-Shell Polystyrene Particle-Gold Nanoparticle Nanohybrids

Actuators made of soft matter are needed for a variety of fields ranging from biomedical devices to soft robotics to microelectromechanical systems. While there are a variety of excellent methods of soft actuation known, the field is still an area of intense research activity as new niches and needs emerge with new technology development. Here, a soft actuation system is described, based on a core-multi-shell particle, which moves via photothermal expansion. The system consists of a novel polystyrene-based thermally expandable microsphere, with a secondary shell of a silicate-silane graft copolymer, to which gold nanoparticles are covalently linked. The gold nanoparticles act as photothermal nano-transducers, converting light energy into the thermal energy necessary for microsphere expansion, which in turn results in material movement. Actuation is shown in isolated particles in thermal and photothermal regimes using metal ceramic heaters or 520 nm laser illumination, respectively. Macroscale actuation is demonstrated by making a composite material of particles suspended in the transparent elastomer polydimethylsiloxane. The sample demonstrates an inchworm-like movement by starting from an arched geometry. Overall, this work describes a new particle-based actuation method for soft materials, and demonstrates its utility in driving the movement of a composite elastomer.     

Controllable synthesis of pure monodispersed zirconia nanopowders with tetragonal phase

Nanopowders of pure zirconia have been synthesized using citric acid (CA)-assisted lamellar liquid crystal template method. The microstructure of the zirconia powder prepared at the different mole ratios of CA to zirconium oxynitrate (ZN) was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser particle size analyzer, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) methods. The phase structure of the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/C₁₀H₂₁OH/H₂O system before and after adding mixing solution CA and ZN was determined by POM (Polarizing Optical Microscope). The results show that lamellar structure of the SDS/C₁₀H₂₁OH/H₂O system after adding mixing solution CA and ZN is stable. The presence of CA inhibits agglomeration and growth of zirconia particle. The crystallite size of zirconia powders decreases and agglomerates lowly with addition of CA. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FI-IR) analyses reveal that the structure of chelating organic complex is maintained in zirconia structure at high-temperature calcination to cause oxygen vacancies which stabilizes the tetragonal phase of zirconia. The zirconia powders remained the single metastable tetragonal phase at the molar ratios of CA to ZN ranging from 1:3 to 5:1. The crystallite size of zirconia with spherical morphology varied from 32.2 to 20.1 nm with the increase of the molar ratio of CA to ZN in the range of 1:3 to 5:1.
